G'day All,
It's finally here, the last chapter of A Slow Descent. I got sidetracked on another project so it's taken longer than I would like.
Just a quick recap Helena is a married real estate agent and mother of two. She leased a large house to three musicians from the city to use as a recording studio and becomes enthralled by the new comers as they seduce her employees. Eventually she too succumbs to one of the guys, a rapper named 10K. At the end of Part two she vowed to not go back and had organized to head to the city for a tourist conference.
Thanks to Favored for his editing.

Two weeks later the time for the tourist promotion in the city rolled around so I was packing to go. I had half a mind to cancel and not go but thought after I'd changed my plans once it would be really weird to change them again. Something came up in the office the next morning so my departure was delayed. It meant I couldn't travel with the others from our committee and I would have to drive myself. It didn't worry me too much and I arrived at the hotel around two in the afternoon.
I rang the others as I walked to the reception desk having left my bags for the valet to bring. The girls were at the convention centre and had almost finished setting up our booth. We decided to meet for a drink in the hotel bar later in the afternoon. I was contemplating a little shopping trip however I decided to go to my room and get unpacked before I went.
I went to the lifts and was waiting for one to open when I saw my luggage and two dress bags on a trolley being pushed towards me by an attendant in a suit. Perfect timing I thought and I went inside the lift that had just opened and held the door open button. With the trolley and attendant inside I closed the door and pressed the button for the twelfth floor where my room was located.
"Hang on ma'am, you've been upgraded." A voice came from the other side of the dress bags and a hand waved another pass key over the top of the trolley.
I took it and saw it was on the twenty fifth floor. That was well above my pay grade.
"Are you sure?"
"Certainly ma'am," came the polite reply from the attendant still mostly hidden by the dress bags.
I pushed the pass key in to the slot and the lift sailed up to the twenty fifth floor. When the door opened I walked out into a square room with three doors, one on each of the other walls. Above each one was a sign, royal suite, presidential suite and the ambassador's suite. Something was wrong, someone must have been playing a trick. I turned to talk to the attendant.
"There must be some mistake ..." My voice trailed off as he stepped out from behind the trolley. It was the first time I'd seen him properly. "10K? Is that you?"
He gave a nervous smile, "Yes, but you can call me by my real name, Ezekiel, if you like?"
"But how? Why?"
I was flabbergasted, the dreadlocks were gone, the three days growth on his face was gone. His grubby t shirt and shorts had been replaced by a tailored Italian suit.
He stepped closer, "I had to see you again."
"How did you know I was here?" I asked retreating.
"Jane told Jamal." He came closer again.
"I'm married," I kept back pedaling but came up against a wall.
"I know and your husband is a very lucky man." He was still moving towards me, not in a threatening way but escape seemed impossible.
"I'm old."
"Your beautiful," he countered, he was so close now I could smell him. "I won't do anything to you if you say no."
His hand touched my forearm and I pulled it back quickly banging my elbow in the wall behind me. The pain bought my focus back to my body and I could feel the telltale signs of my own arousal at the close proximity of this man.
"I'm not one of your groupies," my brain was trying desperately to overrule my body.
"I don't have groupies," he was so close now our bodies were almost touching. His head came close to mine and I turned away but could still feel his breath on my neck.
"What about Annie?" I spat and instantly regretted it. I sounded like a jealous girlfriend.
"That was for you, you like to watch. I saw you in the corridor the first day." He spoke softly directly into my ear.
"You saw?" Color burnt my cheeks, was it embarrassment or arousal.
